Another very good middle of the road radio, although roughly a generation old now. At the time when it was new, this was probably a $3,000 radio. Does have 16-bit IF DSP. There is one of these for sale over at HRO right now, too, I think. The current crop of $1,000~$2,000 rigs don't significantly outperform it. The balun is a nice extra, a $30 spool of 14AWG THHN from Home Depot and a length of coax and you're on the air.
